Howe...Tried this one...turned out really well...:)<br /><br />However there is this peculiar thing which happens with me - I don&#39;t get the taste, aroma of the food I cook if consumed immediately after cooking. Say cooked in the evening by 8 and consumed at 9 - just like with this chilly chicken last night! But on the next day ( or even next bala) I find is super tasty ( if at all it is :) )...again just like this dish which I just had for lunch and landed here...<br /><br />BTW my hubby was repeatedly saying from last night that it was super yummy...he just gave me a call now, after having is lunch, to say the same again!SelfMadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04756621400219323873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-516702659774484782013-02-24T01:06:05.968-05:002013-02-24T01:06:05.968-05:00Hey..

Whenever I miss bengali cooking or am looking for a recipe, I stop by your site for the perfect recipe and it turns out exactly like the one I had been craving for. Just one question: Is there any particular brand of soy sauce to use for making chilli chiken? I have noticed in the past that dark vs light soy and specific brands make a difference in the taste. Vinegar brand too please? Thank you and please continue with this awesome blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-43615610398493318032012-11-21T05:46:35.374-05:002012-11-21T05:46:35.374-05:00Ummm this looks so delicious,reminds me of college...Ummm this looks so delicious,reminds me of college days,..:) notyet100http://www.blogger.com/profile/12079779480407514805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-5174957085571765562012-11-13T13:30:50.516-05:002012-11-13T13:30:50.516-05:00All a matter of perspective, na?

I guess because I see that all the issues I have with BS eventually does not matter in the course of few months or years as they grow up. Like say I would be on top of reading for BS and she is good at it but now I realize it is okay if you read at 5 instead of at 4 and it is not really a big thing to worry about.<br />That does not make me worry less about BS though, I am not chilled about her !!Bong Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15407918137263251235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-84357557607295467312012-11-13T11:02:17.498-05:002012-11-13T11:02:17.498-05:00To be honest I do use Olive oil in many of my Beng...To be honest I do use Olive oil in many of my Bengali cooking, but I don&#39;t tell the pundits that ;-) But that alu posto needs mustard oilBong Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15407918137263251235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-82400300059001123942012-11-13T11:00:25.876-05:002012-11-13T11:00:25.876-05:00We have a gas stove Nupur and there was hot water...We have a gas stove Nupur and there was hot water so that was a blessing.

And I can also imagine how u celebrated the cooking when the power finally arrived! here we believe in back up for everything - for traffic signal we have traffic police, we urban ppl mostly have power back up and we also have regular reasons to test them on live! so it is diff for us here to realize how was the situation actually there. personally i remember ayla 2 yrs back. we hardly gave much importance initially - i sent my son (then 4) to the summer camp. when i picked him up, it was raining. when we rchd home, it was really difficult to get down fm the car. finally the storm arrived. i big tree in front of our house was having a simple harmonic motion - i just cant forget the scene! luckily that tree is still there. I pray such situation does not occur to u any more in life dear!
